HOW YOUR TATTOO PRICE IS CALCULATED
At our studio, pricing is determined by more than just the dimensions of the piece; it is a reflection of the technical precision and time required to ensure a world-class result. The final quote for your project depends on four primary factors:
Design Complexity: A minimalist outline requires less time than Micro-Realism or intricate that involve high-density detail and sophisticated shading.
Size & Scale: While we offer a 1M IDR starting price for tiny symbols, larger compositions are scaled according to our hourly or full-day session rates.
Body Placement: Tattooing delicate areas like the ribs, neck, or belly requires specialized techniques and more time due to the difficulty of the skin surface compared to flatter areas like the outer arm.
Skin Condition: Every canvas is unique; the elasticity and texture of the skin—whether young, aged, or sun-damaged—influence how the ink is accepted and how slowly the artist must work to maintain our signature crisp lines.
PRO-TIP FOR TRAVELERS
If you have 2+ small/medium designs in mind, booking our Hourly Rate (2.4M IDR) is much cheaper than paying individual piece prices. You can often fit 3-4 small custom pieces into a single hour!
CUSTOM DESIGN & ARTWORK FEES
How We Calculate Design Fees
At Fine Line Tattoo Bali, we believe every piece of art should be as unique as the person wearing it. Our pricing for design work depends on the complexity and scale of your vision:
Small to Medium Pieces (Up to 20cm): For most designs under 15-20cm, the preparation is relatively fast. In these cases, the design process is included in your tattoo price for free.
Complex & Large-Scale Custom Work: If your tattoo idea requires several hours of digital/hand-drawn composition, a design fee will be added to the total price. This typically applies to “Day Session” pieces or complex projects requiring 3+ hours of tattooing.
Estimates: On average, custom design fees for large projects range between 1.6 million and 2.6 million IDR depending on there complexity. Because every tattoo is a unique creation, this is an estimate; your artist will provide a specific quote based on the intricacy of your request.
Note: Please text us first! It is always best to discuss your project with us directly. It often happens that even for large or complex ideas, we can create the design for free depending on the style and references provided. Let’s chat about your vision!
HOURLY SESSIONS & TIME TRACKING
Understanding Our Hourly Rates
For larger projects and multi-session pieces, we bill based on an hourly rate to ensure you only pay for the time spent on your art.
Rate Breakdown: Our hourly rate is 2.4 million IDR. After the first hour, we bill in 30-minute increments at 1.2 million IDR.
When the Clock Starts: We only begin counting the session time from the moment the needle touches the skin (the start of tattooing). Prep time, stenciling, and placement consultations are not billed hourly.
What is included in the session time? To keep the process fair and transparent, we distinguish between different types of breaks:
Included: Short breaks requested by the client, or the lunch break during full-day sessions.
Not Included: Any breaks or lunch intervals required by the artist. We will pause the clock during these times.

WHY "SMALL" DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN "MINIMUM PRICE"
In styles like Fine Line and Micro Realism, complexity is more important than size. A 3cm tattoo with intricate shading or ultra-thin geometric lines requires more time and technical skill than a basic outline.
The 1M IDR Minimum: Reserved for “Flash” style symbols or very basic, quick-application linework.
The Custom Tier (1.3M – 2M): Most of our signature small fine-line work falls into this category. This covers the extra time needed for custom stencil placement, single-needle detailing, and ensuring the longevity of delicate scripts or floral work.
